11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

1
When using Remote Copy with management groups running different versions of the LeftHand OS, the management group
that is the destination for the remote copy must be running the later version. For example, a management group running
version 10.5 can create a remote copy to a management group running 11.5. See the HP StoreVirtual Storage Upgrade
Guide for more information.

If you run the SRA Version 11.x or 10.x with Site Recovery Manager 5.0, the Recovery operation will not work and the Site
Recovery Manager services on the recovery site will stop working. There is no way to make the Recovery operation work
with Site Recovery Manager 5.0; this is a known issue in Site Recovery Manager 5.0 and was fixed by VMware in Site
Recovery Manager 5.0.1. You must uninstall the Site Recovery Manager and SRA on both the protected and recovery sites,
and then install the Site Recovery Manager Version 5.0.1 or Version 5.1 and the supported SRA Version (11.x or 10.x).
Mixed LeftHand OS software versions in management groups
HP StoreVirtual Storage management groups can accommodate storage systems that are running
different versions of the LeftHand OS software. However, you can only add storage systems that are
running a greater software version to a management group that is running an earlier software version.
Storage systems with LeftHand OS 11.5 can join management groups running on LeftHand OS versions
11.0, 10.5, and 10.0. You cannot add a storage system running 10.5 software to a management
group that is running 11.5 software.
If you partially upgrade an HP StoreVirtual Storage management group, the management group will
continue to run on the earlier software version until the entire cluster is upgraded. To determine the
version of your management group, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage Upgrade Guide.
Workarounds
HP StoreVirtual LeftHand OS Command Line Interface
• CLI does not allow using equal sign (=) and double quotes (") in username/password credentials
of any CLI commands
If an administrative user name or password uses characters in the CMC that are not allowed in
the CLI, CLI commands that use those credentials will not succeed. To resolve this issue, do one
of the following:
◦ Change the existing credentials in the CMC to use characters allowed in both the CMC and
CLI.
◦ Create a new administrative user/group that only uses characters permitted by the CMC and
CLI and use that user/group for the CLI commands.
Disallowed characters in the CMC credentials
Dot (‘.’)
Colon (‘:’)
